      A must-see when visiting Adelaide.
      What a beautiful day out. Our guide Deep was very informative. Each stop was different and provided a different "flavour" of the Barossa. A stand out was the visit to Hahndorf. What a beautiful town.

      Super tour of Adelaide and surrounding area
      My wife and I took a full-day tour of Adelaide and the surrounding areas with Roger Brock from Ambler Touring. Roger grew up in the Adelaide area and provided a lot of very interesting background. He personalized the tour to match our interests including a visit and tasting at one very interesting winery, d’Arenberg’s. This winery’s tasting facility is shaped like a Rubik’s Cube with some very unusual art. We picked up a couple of bottles. We roamed the countryside visiting Mount Lofty, the Malaren Vale, and Hahndorf. His car was spotless and very comfortable. Roger was quite the historian and seemed to know people at every stop. One super stop was to the Woodside Cheese Wrights. We tasted some award-winning cheeses and bought some to take back to our place. We have been to many countries and taken lots of tours. Roger’s was the best. We highly recommend him.

      Fabulous way to see as much of Barossa Valley AND Hahndhorf. Maggie Beer's Farm Shop is a quaint first stop for brekky to load up for some wine. Both Château Tanunda and Kies Family Winery presented their top-tier wine for tasting. The final perusal through Hahndorf was a nice taster as 1 hour gives you plenty to see if you're not going to shop, but I recommend coming back after the tour if you really want to spend more time in the village.

      Great tour. Deep, the tour guide, was full of information and was amusing. Each winery was interesting and different. Maggie Beers farm was great, as was the chocolate factory. Hahndorf was delightful as always, but very busy. All in all, a great tour showcasing a little of South Australia.

      A perfect day touring wineries with Bum on Seats & Parry.
      Highly recommend this tour and company. The whole family enjoyed out winery tour. Our driver/tour guide Parry, was amazing. He made the tour extra memorable. The wineries we went to were all amazing but my favorite was Sew & Sew, a lovely small boutique winery. We also had a very special visit to Graham Stevens winery which has been sold. Graham was a delight and his wines are highly awarded. A lovely and well respected wine maker in SA. This tour is a must. You will not be disappointed with Bums on Seats tours as they cater for small and big groups. Thank you Parry for a perfect day!

      Anil was amazing!! We told him what we wanted to see and he made sure we saw everything and more. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the areas. We had an elderly passenger with mobility issues and Anil went out of his way to ensure he was ok and could access everything. He was kind, patient and could not do enough for us. Thank you so much bums on seats. We would recommend your service time and again. Thank you Anil for a perfect day! The Gold Coasters

      We couldn't have chosen a better tour than the Barossa Valley and Handorf Tour - Great guide (Pete). Great wine. Great food. With two senior couples on board Pete was very friendly and considerate. He kept us well informed about the places we were visiting and we enjoyed the friendly banter.

      Great day in the Adelaide region
      A great day to see lots of the Adelaide area with a knowledgeable and friendly guide/driver with a tasty lunch included. The driver’s insight meant we got the most out of it. Thoroughly recommend! Stops included Mt Lofty, Hahndorf, the mouth of the Murray, Victor Harbor and a stop at d’Arenberg wines in McLaren Vale.

      It was a good tour
      The car was comfortable and the guide was very friendly and helpful. If you were easy to get a carsickness, you might need to take anti-sickness medication. It was quite cold along the coast, so a jacket would be essential even in summer. Also, if you have plans after the tour, it is advisable to allow plenty of time.

    Our Saturday trip was great, highly recommended! Driver Dave was very informative and chatty.
    Visited four wineries with ample tasting opportunities and the lunch options were very tasty.
    Social distancing very much in effect at all wineries visited 👍 and plenty of room to spread out on our 12 seater bus due to cancellations. Hand sanitiser plus soap & water freely available everywhere. Our hearts go out to all in this industry as well as the global community during these very difficult times ❤️❤️

    Had a lovely day touring the countryside with Sujit as our tour guide.
    Recommend this tour to give you a little taste of some of what Adelaide has and it’s diversity.
    Sujit did a great job at keeping 9 of us in check ensuring we were able to experience everything as per the itinerary and provided us with interesting facts along the way.
    Personally I would have asked for more time in Handorf by pinching a little from the winery stays… but that’s just my thought. All in all a really good day with a lovely group of people. Thankyou

    For a first timer to the Barossa Valley this was the perfect tour. For the price, I can't believe we fitted in 4 wineries which were all fantastic and unique in their own way, including lunch AND Maggie Beer's Farm. At an additional cost you could enjoy tastings of Maggie's Gin and it was reasonably priced too.
    Every staff member at each location were welcoming and very informative of the history of their Wine and the tastings were very generous. Our lunch was perfect in between all the wine tastings. Our tour guide Harry was an absolute darling. He was well mannered and conscientious. He kept us up to date of our time and offered us alternate locations if we wanted to change anything. We all had some fun playing lawn games after lunch at one of the Wineries. I thought Harry did great considering he had only been in the job for 4 weeks and he a very considerate driver. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know Harry and the other people in our group. We actually left swapping numbers. I would definitely do this tour again and would hope to get Harry again!

    OMG I wish I'd read these reviews before booking. Same tour as Robyn (previous review) and agree completely. The tour was fantastic, great company, fantastic cellar door people, quality wines, gorgeous scenery. Only downside was Paul's manner... boorish, snappy, unfriendly, uninformative, disrespectful and very arrogant. He has no concept of customer service or giving his travellers good memories. His sarcastic replies to the very many bad reviews here only serve as proof of his deluded attitude.
    I want to recommend the tour as the venues are wonderful... but I just cannot stress enough, read everyone's negative impressions on here and trust in the numbers... I chatted to every member of our 12-strong bus full and not one person had a positive thing to say about him. Complaints however were plentiful (the word torturous was mentioned). If Paul posts denying the accuracy of this review it only proves how deeply in denial he is. Read the room Paul!

    Not worth your money or your time.
    Our tour started off very awkwardly as the tour owner approached the bus we were in to accost our driver, I was seated directly behind the driver as we were waiting for other passengers when the owner approached and started berating and belittling the driver before realising he had made a mistake... the mistake he should’ve realised was that he should not have spoken to an employee in that tone and manner and to definitely not have done so in the presence of paying customers.
    Our red flag should’ve been his rude demeanour towards us when we phoned up about my dietary requirements.. our second red flag should’ve been when we asked what wineries we were visiting and to be told that it was a secret and a need to know and that we didn’t need to know by our driver.. big mistake!!
    Overall we went to 2x wineries, 1 was family owned by tour owner and the other was where we had lunch... very disappointing as we were asked where we wanted to go at the very beginning.
    We were also driven through and shown jacobs creek carpark, pointed out where Seppersfield/chateau tanunda and Saltram were and driven past the sign for Grant Burge 3 times.
    Oh and we stopped for 5mins to try cheese and walked through a chocolatier that had a wine tasting attached so we could try ‘pedestrian’ wine.
    We were taken to Maggie Beer but everything inside was at out cost.. so by that stage we just wanted to get back to our hotel and try and salvage what we could of that day.. which wasn’t much as we were already 1 hour behind schedule... which could’ve been avoid through better planning of day and less circling around to waste time.
    What was promised during booking was not met, I would not recommend this tour at all and would advise anyone looking for a Barossa Experience to look elsewhere.

    Would not recommend this tour! Ruined by Paul the guide and business owner with his rudeness and very unprofessional manner.
    This was a very average tour unfortunately. The tour guide Paul, was not very friendly and continuously made rude and inappropriate comments including telling lots of tasteless jokes about women. He also had very strong opinions and views which were not appropriate most of the time - also making a few racist comments.

    It was very evident from the start that he was there to make the day all about him. Within the first 15 minutes of the trip he told us that he had bad reviews recently and that we should give good reviews which wasn’t a great look to start the day. He also made business calls on loud speaker so the whole tour could hear. The atmosphere was not relaxed and he also swore a lot at other cars/people when driving. At one point he stopped halfway through telling us something and stared us down for talking while he was, making us feel uncomfortable and as if we were in trouble! He was also confrontational with an elderly man who was clearly just a little confused and was very rude to him in front of everyone.
    There was no itinerary prior to getting on the bus and we didn’t know the plan for the day (he would make calls to the wineries before arriving, which seemed very unorganised).
    3 of the 4 cellar doors we visited were average.
    The bus seats were really uncomfortable and for a group of 10 we didn’t have a lot of space.
    Based on all the negative reviews, I wish we had of read them properly first and I would not recommend this tour to anybody.

    We actually didn’t get to Maggie Beers, which was the sole reason for booking the trip. The tour guide was unapologetic about it and in fact blamed it on our group being slow. He also told several people to ‘shut up’ and told some lame/crass jokes. I think there’s definitely better tours out there and for $126, not a bargain.

    We went on the tour today to the Barossa. I was quite disappointed to be honest. Bu the lack of care from the owner has led me to leave this review.

    The advert states wine tasting a three of the regions wineries. We only went to two wineries and were required to pay $10 each for tasting at one of them. This is false advertising and unacceptable in my mind.

    We also found Peter to be a bit rude and condescending at times. I am sure he is a lovely bloke but he needs to understand that if people ask a question it is because they want an answer not to be told to ‘google it’. We are not from SA and unfortunately today has left a bad taste in our mouth.

    We went on a half day tour with a different company the day prior to Mclaren Vale and it was fantastic. Did more wine tasting in half the time and for half the price.

    When I emailed the owner about our thoughts and experience he attacked me personally and was completely unprofessional. His replies to other people’s comments show his complete disregard for his customers. This guy doesn’t deserve to be in business. So do not book with this company.

    We were having a ball on all Adelaide tours we went to, and normally would do on holidays and tours.

    The same cant be said for this one, Bums on seats.
    Disappointing experience.

    The one thing you expect on a tour is if you follow the rules you don’t get left behind.

    We got to 4th of 5th stop and were told 3pm departure. We were sitting beside driver and followed him out, I got stopped by Maggie Beer waitor on way out as we had a takeaway order as we proceeded outside the driver left…. we were literally running after the driver (3.08pm) and called the organisers mobile (who laughed) only to be told he will come back. After 40 mins waiting outside, we called the organizer (again), who again laughed and said Peter would be back. About 10 mins later Peter arrived and we basically were told “you have to laugh about it” if thats an idea of an apology. At the drop home to hotel Peter offered to give us another half an hour if we ever came back, again saying “you had to laugh about it”.

    Bit of anticlimax, all our stuff was on bus, missing a promised stop, and listening to driver go on about himself for rest of tour.

    We would never use again nor recommend.

    We were on other Adelaide tours and they were FANTASTIC, they all delivered what was promised. This driver just went on about being a pilot for 41 years….

    In addition to the disappointment, we were promised a nice lunch. We got a cheese platter shared between 4 at Lamberts and left hungry. Others on tour commented similar.

    Ive added a photo of the promised lunch options.

    I never whinge - please refer to my other reviews but for others looking to book. Thought it worthwhile doing so.

    A basic head count would have been suffice

    I loved visiting the wineries, but I was so disappointed with the tour guide that we travelled with. He basically stayed on the bus at every stop we made, but when he did engage with us he was snappy and he especially made me feel very upset. He told multiple people not to tall about certain people or events, or to talk to loudly or sing on the bus, which is fair enough but his manner made us feel like we were school children on a bus and to be quite once he’d said the final word. I would highly recommend Barossa valley but please chose a different company to travel with if you want a good experience
